4. What  is  Prototyping    …incomplete  versions  of  the  soEware  program  being   developed.  A  prototype  typically  implements  only  a  small   subset  of  the  features  of  the  eventual  program,  and  the   implementaHon  may  be  completely  different  from  that  of   the  eventual  product.     (hKp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoEware_prototyping)

18. Short  Timeframes  
19. Build  only  what  you  need  
20. Don’t  be  afraid  to  throw  it  out  
21. Types  of  Prototyping   • Low  Fidelity   • Medium  Fidelity   • High  Fidelity  
22. Low  Fidelity   • Quick  to  develop   • Allows  for  exploraHons  of  ideas   • Can  be  more  difficult  to  conduct  user  studies   • Zero  coding!

25. Tools  
26. Resources  
27. Medium  Fidelity   • More  “real”  user  experience   • Longer  design  Hme   • Longer  development  Hme   • Some  level  of  programming   • “Golden  Path”  /  Slideshow  
28. Medium  Fidelity  
29. Tools  
30. High  Fidelity   • Closer  to  reality   • Greater  design  requirements   • More  development  Hme   • Can  serve  as  a  reference  pla_orm  for  other  groups   (Engineering,  QA,  MarkeHng)

45. Keys  to  Successful  Prototyping   • Short  development  Hme   • Throw-­‐away  code  (mostly)   • Fake  it  (when  you  can)
